In a significant political development, Trinamool Congress (TMC) state convener P V Anvar announced he is withdrawing from the Congress-led UDF coalition, stating financial constraints as his reason for not contesting the upcoming Nilambur assembly bypoll.
Anvar made this announcement following the UDF's demand for him to retract negative comments directed at its candidate, Aryadan Shoukath. The UDF leadership hopes to include Anvar in their fold if he complies; however, Anvar remains firm in his decision.
